Okay, stop me if you’ve heard this before — you’re surfing channels late at night and stumble upon that silly movie that catches your attention just long enough to keep you watching… and watching…. and watching.
Sound familiar? Of course it does, because it happens to all of us. 
This is what happened when I came across the small masterpiece known simply as “Clerks II.”
First, a bit of disclosure: I have never seen the original Clerks (which I’m told is a must-see because it clarifies much of the storyline in Clerks II).
I guess what makes this movie a guilty pleasure is it’s very screwy sense of humor combined with its surreal perspective of life. Also, this movie doesn’t doesn’t sell out or compromise; there’s no abiding by any type of “formula” in that it spits out humorous set pieces without any preconceived explanation or cliche’ setup.
Needless to say, the original Clerks is next on my Netflix list.
Enjoy.
